Review
We now understand the why of:
5V
C
R
L
v
Today, look at response of networks
to sinusoidal drive.
Sinusoids important because signals can be
represented as a sum of sinusoids. Response to
sinusoids of various frequencies -- aka frequency
response -- tells us a lot about the system

For motivation, consider our old friend,
the amplifier:

V
BIAS
Observe v
o
amplitude as the frequency of the
input v
i
changes. Notice it decreases with
frequency.
Also observe v
o
shift as frequency changes
(phase).
Need to study behavior of networks for
sinusoidal drive.

Let’s use the usual approach…
1
Set up DE.
2
Find

.
3
Find

.
4
